The movie adaptation of Wicked, based on Gregory Maguire's novel, hit theaters on November 22, 2024. Directed by John M. Chu, it stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Galinda, roles made famous by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth on Broadway. The Wizard of Oz prequel, also featuring Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum, opened with $48.5 million on Friday, including Thursday night previews. Wicked ranks third on the list of Best Broadway Musicals of All Time. With critics and fans praising the movie, Spotify slipped in a tiny treat - but you had to know where to look to avoid a spoiler. Here's what it was and where to find it.
